Hello.
I hae a 1992 40HP Mercury outboard that I bought used 2 years along as part of the boat. Currently, i am having an issue where the motor does not want to open to full throttle speed. Max seems to be half. At other times, it will run half speed approximately, then all of a sudden sputter and kick wide open. It took it to tracker marine and they believe it is the stator based on an incorrect ohm reading. Cost is $750 to replace with no guarantee as my problem. I am considering doing the work myself. Regardless, has anyone else run into this sort of problem with acceleration, and was the stator the problem? Fuel pump, tanks, lines,etc all check OK.
Thanks or any suggestions or advice in advance..
Joe
